Today, I’m going to be talking about something a little different than mattresses (shocking, I know!). This piece is about my experiences with Onnit’s New Mood supplement, a product designed to promote relaxation and fight stress. Read below to see if it helped improve my sleep — or if it ended up being just another snake oil pill. If you’ve ...

Saatva has released a new product, called Zenhaven. It’s very unique because it is a natural-latex mattress that sells online-only. There are a lot of latex mattresses out there in the market, but very few of them actually uses natural latex. Most are synthetic or blended. It should be interesting to see how this product fares because it is so ...

I have a business background too, so sometimes I like to take a deep dive into the strategy that mattress companies take. A few of the online mattress companies have the main marketing message that their mattress is the one perfect mattress for just about everybody. That claim is “within reason,” of course, because some people just need a low-quality ...

The fact that more and more companies are entering the online-only space means that a LOT of people ...

News this weekend from Leesa. The Leesa mattress is now available in Alaska and Hawaii. And here’s the kicker Still free shipping. This is good news for the Alaska and Hawaii residents that have been itching to get their hands on a new mattress from Leesa sleep. The same 100 days free trial still applies, however in the case ...

If you read a lot of reviews of a particular mattress model, you’ll see that people will oftentimes have the same things to say about it, and other times there will be a lot of conflicting opinions. For this reason, it’s important to read as many reviews as possible. That is also why I like to tie in my personal ...

From my experience in the industry, I’ve noticed that there are many ways to bucket potential shoppers. One such bucketing that I’ve found to be true is that there are people who really like memory foam and then there are people who just don’t like the feel no matter how good the mattress is. I try to caution people who ...

A lot of people who don’t have experience in the industry simply assume that the firmer the mattress they have is, the better the mattress is for back pain.
